There will be active recovery over the coming days and we of the bones of those who have been lost. So it will take time. To give perspective, it is going to take many years to rebuild lahaina. When you see the full extent of the destruction of lahaina it will shock you. It does appear like a bomb and fire went off, if i may. And all of those buildings, virtually, are going to have to be rebuilt. It will be a new lahaina. Lets recap the latest details from hawaii. At least 53 people are now known to have died in the fires, though weve heard the governor say that number will rise. Billions of dollars of property are also expected to be destroyed. Governor green says as many as 1,700 buildings have been destroyed and 11,000 people are still without power or water in west maui. The fires began on tuesday and Officials Say none of these fires are 100 contained. The blazes spread quickly, fuelled by strong winds generated by a hurricane over the pacific ocean. Thousands are still in emergen

ministers are scheduled to meet today in turkey, that s not a lot better but certainly better than china. you also said that had donald trump been re elected in 2020 that he would potentially have pulled out of nato. how do you think, then, things would have panned out now? you re saying unity seems to be not be making much difference? i think if trump had won things would be worse now, the russians might have captured kyiv almost six months ago. ambassadorjohn bolton, the former security adviser of the united states to donald trump. the price of oil has risen to its highest level in 14 years as the us and europe discuss banning imports of russian oil. there are also warnings about food prices the head of one of the world s largest fertiliser companies has told the bbc the war is threatening globalfood supplies.
members such as france are furious. thank you very much. in the last hour, the bbc has spoken to ambassadorjohn bolton, who was former president trump s national security adviser, as well as a military adviser to president george w bush. he said the new security deal was a positive step. australia, the uk, and the us are reacting to china. they didn t put it that way, but there aren t many other threats in the indo pacific we have to worry about. and i think putting australia in the position where it has nuclear submarines is a big step forward. this obviously isn t something that started yesterday or the day after we withdrew from afghanistan. and i think you have to see it as part of the larger picture that has begun to emerge in the context of the so called quad india, japan, australia, and the united states. there ll be another virtual summit
